With the little evidence you've given, I'd guess either:

1.  named isn't running
2.  Your DNS configuration is messed up. 

Of course, if you had given more information, I might have been able
to guess better.  But I can look at your DNS configuration, assuming
you are talking about thsos.com.  It shows A records for
router.thsos.com and bob.thsos.com.  It also shows serial number 15,
which gives no indication as to the age of the entry.

What host are you looking for?  If it's 'server.thsos.com', as your
message implies, then you need to add an entry for it.
